Moderate burden compared to Virginia counties
Orange's 0.607% rate falls slightly below Virginia's 0.671% state average, yet its median tax of $2,048 exceeds the statewide median of $1,960. This paradox reflects Orange's status as a more affluent county with significantly higher property values.

High-value homes warrant assessment review
In a market like Orange where properties command premium prices, accurate assessments are critical—overassessments directly impact larger dollar amounts. If your home's assessed value seems out of step with recent sales of similar properties, an appeal could justify the effort.
